Restoring Vintage Camper Cabinets

By Amy

Restoring our vintage camper's cabinets

Our vintage camper is a 1986 Silver Edition Avion 30P.

1986 Avion

The cabinets have been in need of a major overhaul for a while now.

They were scratched in many places

and the wood just looked dry.

This is how they looked after a good cleaning

with Murphy’s Oil Soap.

So, I knew it wasn’t just dirt

that was keeping them from looking their best.

The cabinets are solid wood, and I like the look of the real wood,

so I decided to restore them.

I had previously used Howard’s Restor-a-Finish

on an antique country piece of furniture

and was pleased with the results.

Here’s how I restored my vintage camper’s cabinets:

I used Howard’s Restor-a-Finish in Maple-Pine color.

Howard's Restor-a-Finish & Feed-N-Wax

I followed the manufacturer’s instructions.

It is a simple wipe on- wipe off process.

I was able to use a soft cloth to wipe on in most places,

but I did need to use the 0000 steel wool pad on a few scratches.

Then, I applied Howard’s Feed-N-Wax and buffed it off,

following the instructions on the bottle.

The cabinets looked immensely better even without the wax,

but I wanted to give them an extra dose of goodness

to keep them looking good for many more years!

Blessings~

About Me

Our small farm is nestled amongst the Amish. We have a few cows, some sheep, a labradoodle, one calico cat, and lots of wide open spaces for our children to roam. I enjoy making primitive needle punch, wool creations, and learning how to spin the wool from our sheep. Read more...
